The pic at top is a small section from an oil painting on canvas - "Summer '68" - Jimi Hendrix - George Harrison. I was interested in 1968 as it was then that I started to appreciate - deeply appreciate - the whole bourgeoning psychedelic "scene."
Magazines like "OZ" started to appear at the local newsagents.
OZ, significantly an abundance of illustrations by Martin Sharp within it's pages. I had never seen anything like that before. My picture of Randy California above is influenced by much of what I saw in Sharps work. Desraeli Gears and Wheels of Fire by Cream are still some of my favorite pieces of art. The Randy California piece - above - is an ink drawing on photographic paper. It was then hand painted and colored with acrylic paints and ink washes via the airbrush.
